White House Tells World Leaders That They Must Tell Trump He’s Doing Better Than Obama

By Jason Easley on Fri, May 19th, 2017 at 1:30 pm


Foreign leaders are being told that they are to compliment Trump on his Electoral College win and compare him favorably to President Obama as part of the rules for meeting with the President during his first foreign trip.

The New York Times reported:



Trump can only handle one point in a very short conversation, and he needs his ego flattered and a slide show.

Donald Trump’s trip isn’t an international visit overseas by a president. It is a global babysitting operation to give American a break for its perpetually needy, corrupt, and scandal-plagued toddler.

The White House’s “rules” for meeting Trump aren’t diplomatic guidelines for international diplomacy. They are a list you leave on the fridge for the babysitter before you both head out to catch a movie.

The idea that world leaders are expected to lie and praise Trump as better than Obama is jaw-droppingly shallow. We all know that Trump can’t handle any criticism, but he is so insecure about not being as good of a president as Obama that it could be viewed as a symptom a deep mental or emotional issue.

Trump will return to the United States thinking his trip was great, and he made lots of new friends, but the reality has never been more clear that Donald Trump isn’t just an American problem. He is also a headache for the entire world.

1. Deplorable and disgusting.

[nikibatts]

63. Hey, if they want to live with that lie, so be it. Most of them should be own their way out too.

[dalton99a]

2. Also compliment him on his hands

[rzemanfl]

5. Especially when he is picking his nose. n/t

[forgotmylogin]

29. This cannot be real.

[DK504]

45. I love these so much.

They are about the only things the keep me sane.

[skylucy]

3. Unbelievable.

It has been obvious that Trump is jealous of President Obama, but this is ridiculous!

[tblue37]

4. Some world leader should give him a tent-sized brown leather coat as a gift:

[Freethinker65]

6. embarrassingly comical

If/when he boasts of the compliments he receives, he will look like even a bigger fool.

[onethatcares]

7. I wondered when he

would stand on the world stage and tell everyone that the pictures of his inauguaration showed 1.5 million faithful.

[smirkymonkey]

8. In other words, lie your ass off to protect the little baby-man's ego.

How pathetic! And this was supposed to be the big, tough guy that was going to solve the world's problems?

[barbtries]

9. is this a joke?!

you cannot direct world leaders to lie at your behest! give me a break, can this actually be real or is it a joke?

[narnian60]

31. My question, also.

[OldHippieChick]

48. This is my query as well. Wouldn't you expect

a bona fide leader to laugh at such a suggestion? Who would hand this out and keep a straight face?

[barbtries]

51. i hope the leaders he meets with

do not follow this script. fuck kissing this baby's ass. make him step up and act like a grown up.

[Sugar Smack]

10. Ohhh, No. Boundaries. BOUNDARIES. Other people's personal boundaries.

This is just mortifying. It's maybe not unexpected of Trump, but it's still mortifying.

I can easily see Twitter the next morning:
"Oh, the Pope! Yeah, the pope, GREAT guy. Great guy. I think he likes me."

OMG, I need a lie-down!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Surely that's an Onion story.

Or Andy Borowitz.

The WH staff can't possibly be so ignorant of how the real world works that they think they can command other world leaders to treat the toddler-in-chief like the baby he is. Can they?

And do the really think the world leaders will flatter him like that? Wow, are they in for a rude awakening.

[progressoid]

17. Borowitz and The Onion must have to really try hard to find material that isn't actually happening!

[dchill]

40. +1000

[Marie Marie]

12. I am so embarassed by this jerk.

[Vinca]

13. Does he get a lollipop after every meeting????

[trof]

32. Nope, a Big Mac.

[Saviolo]

39. Well....

43. Feed him goat.

[dchill]

41. TWO lollipops.

Everyone else gets one!

[sheshe2]

67. Diaper change.

[TeamPooka]

14. Comedy Gold He Is!

[Pisces]

15. Florence Jenkins

[CousinIT]

16. IOW they are told they must vociferously act as his narcissistic supply.

How goddamned EMBARRASSING.

[Amaryllis]

18. Since the source is NYT I know this is not satire.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Foreign leaders, do NOT ENABLE tRump. Don't have to insult him, but don't give him false views. .nt

[monmouth4]

20. President Obama made some great friends during his tenure and somehow I doubt they will go out

of their way to favorably compliment 45 to President Obama. At least not without laughing in his face.

[adigal]

21. Why are we all not talking about his Alzheimers?? I mean, come on!!!

Let's be honest here, folks. He can only handle one point in a very short conversation??? WTF??

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. No,please don't try to ascribe this to Alzheimer's.

Or any other form of dementia. He's a narcissistic bully with the emotional development of a 4 year old, and the vocabulary of a third grader, but he doesn't have dementia.

If he had dementia he wouldn't be responsible for what he says and does, and he clearly knows what he's saying when he says it. It seems as if he can conveniently forget something he recently said, but that's because he lives entirely in the present, especially as it pertains to him and his ego.

[pangaia]

54. Agreed.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

68. + about a million!

It's all about him being unable to go more than moment or two before he's distracted by thoughts of how he can bring everyone's attention back to the topic of his (imagined) greatness.

[Chakaconcarne]

22. Is there an a link to this article?

Only thing I found was this:

http://www.politicususa.com/2017/05/19/white-house-tells-world-leaders-trump-obama.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

and it doesn't appear terribly legitimate to me.

[Leith]

27. The Article Has a Link

to the NY Times:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/world/middleeast/trump-saudi-arabia-foreign-trip.html?_r=0

[world wide wally]

23. The lies shall set him free!

[cstanleytech]

24. I can imagine it now "Yes Mr. Trump we so agree you are doing far better than President Obama ever

did at getting nearer to being the first impeached President for the United States."
They can hardly argue since they would be making it clear that he is doing "something" better than Obama lol

[JuJuYoshida]

25. I swear I thought this would be an Onion article

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Me too!

I kept begging - please let this be "The Onion".

[calimary]

58. Welcome to DU, JuJuYoshida!

Have we met before? But to your point - yeah, this is Onion material for sure, although I've seen many different graphics on this particular photo. And they're all aimed at The Donald. And they're all hilarious! And all the funnier because one can easily envision Hillary and Barack sitting there together, sharing that little joke and cracking each other up.

[SCVDem]

26. We are about to find out what

Fuck You sounds like in many different languages.

They will not give this ass what he needs!

Please keep him, btw!

[lpbk2713]

30. ... or they will be sent to the corn field.

[caballojm]

33. Poor little Drumpy. Fragile narcissistic man-baby!

In a self-imagined competition with a man and a president who will always be vastly and immensely his superior in every way imaginable. Destined to always come out the loser. Sad.

[ewagner]

34. Soooooo.....

We're supposed to look upon this trip as "respite care" for the USA...????

"Here Europe..we need a break...take care of little Donnie for us for a few days so we can regain our physical and emotional strength".

[ThoughtCriminal]

35. That's a good thing you did Billy

If they fail to praise him enough do they get sent to the cornfield?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

36. Was: This is nonsense. Now: Oh, now I get it.

The New York Times would never "report" that:

Trump can only handle one point in a very short conversation, and he needs his ego flattered and a slide show.

Donald Trump’s trip isn’t an international visit overseas by a president. It is a global babysitting operation to give American a break for its perpetually needy, corrupt, and scandal-plagued toddler.

They might run an op-ed by a guest writer who said that, but this is obviously not a news story.

I don't know who politicsusa.com is, but, based on this, they are not a reliable source.

[babylonsister]

52. I went back

and looked at the article and left this out after 'the nyt reported:' mea culpa.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

70. Oh, now I get it. Thanks. NT

[Yavin4]

37. President Precious Snowflake n/t

[dchill]

42. It would be so appropriate and funny...

if they refused to do any such thing. They should just tell him the truth.

Oh.

Maybe not.

[Madam45for2923]

44. Whisper: "Because he is crazy!"

[Warren DeMontague]

46. He's on track to become the first President impeached AND removed from office!

That's simply an astounding accomplishment, wouldn't you agree?

[gopiscrap]

47. well said

[workinclasszero]

49. OMG!! Trump is such a needy drama queen! What a special snowflake!

Now world leaders have to baby the two year old!

[NastyRiffraff]

50. Normally, I wouldn't believe this

This is not normal times. Ye gods, what an embarrassment. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of a foreign leader being told how to act around the spoiled manbaby. It isn't likely to be pretty, or printable.

[LiberalBrooke]

53. Treat him like an adult

They should just treat him like a normal adult and if he is not a normal man, just let him dissolve. No one has done him any favors by catering to his whims. Just like a child, if you take every demand seriously, they turn into brats and then the only solution is to ignore the tantrums.

[bdamomma]

55. I hope those world leaders

laugh at him, the emperor wears no clothes. What a disgrace this man/child is.

Wish he would take an extended leave.

[mr_lebowski]

56. NYT is NOT saying 'the White House is telling them to do this' ...

C'mon people.

The is 'spin' ... on an actual Times article ... but it's not what the Times said, it's what's 'imagined' by the writer of this article at politicsusa.

[babylonsister]

61. So you're

saying no one was counseled on how to treat dt and what he expects?

What is this spin you speak of?

[mr_lebowski]

71. The actual reportage states that this is what 'leaders' are saying among THEMSELVES ...

Not that the WH itself has instructed the Leaders to behave in this way.

I get frustrated w/noise like this because our side doesn't have to stretch the damn truth ... the REALITY of provable egregious actions by the Trump regime ... is plenty bad enough.

All we do is undermine ourselves and our message ... if we get caught making shit up.

The original article DOES NOT SAY 'The White House told World Leaders' ... anything.

[orangecrush]

57. W.T.F.!!!!!

This just gets weirder every day

[Dustlawyer]

59. Sad!

Not Trump "sad", but really, really SAD!!!

[GoCubsGo]

60. SMGDH. n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

62. ...16. The President requires a treat after each greeting. Any local

confection will do, but Tic Tacs are preferred.

17. Please mind your footing so you do not step on the President's tie.

18. Should the President be observed grunting with a particular look of concentration on his face, do not be alarmed. He is merely performing a bodily function. Cease all conversation. A staff member will escort him away to change the Presidential Diaper. Conversation may resume when he returns, subject to rule 16...

[GulfCoast66]

64. What I would give for President Macron

In his most haughty French manner to suggest that Trump call and get advice from Obama.

It would be a very French thing to do.

Which is one of the many reasons I love France.

[Motownman78]

65. President Snowflake n/t

[Trial_By_Fire]

66. That would be hard to do...considering President Obama...

...considering President Obama was a 'perty' decent Democratic president...

Although I had some issues with Mr. Obama, overall he rates highly.

[MaeScott]

69. Poor widdle Orange cockholder. Boo hoo.

[malaise]

72. They're telling world leaders what to say

WTF!!!
